Drag Me to the Movies Presents:
Frankenhooker (1990)
October 31 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
WE'RE BACK!!! October 31st, get ready for our second edition of Drag Me to the Movies. This time around we have an extra special HALLOWEEN screening of a campy horror classic; Frankenhooker (1990).
The one and only Drag Me to the Movies creator Weird Alice will be back, back, back again to host with extra special guests Lilith Fair & DOGIICHOW.
Didn't make it to our last screening and are thinking: What is "Drag Me to the Movies"? Why, it's only the best way to view a film! There will be drag performances, movie bingo, a mini vendor market, bingo prizes, hilarious commentary, beer from Annex Ale Project, and cocktails from Sugar Water. And of course, a screening of Frankenhooker (1990) in the old planetarium-turned-theatre.
This is an 18+ event.

About the host:
Comprised mostly of TV static and a faint memory of late-night feverish movie viewing, Weird Alice is an award-winning queer camp drag artist and film aficionado, and host/curator of the monthly interactive screening series Drag Me to the Movies. They are also the programmer for other film series including Sleaze Factory, and Evil Women. Weird Alice combines their art and love of cinema to take you on journeys of pastiche, queer kitsch, and anything in poor taste.

Synopsis
After making horror history with BASKET CASE and BRAIN DAMAGE, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed FRANKENHOOKER—the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN that you’ll ever see. After accidentally murdering the love of his life, Jeffrey Franken decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug named Supercrack . . . and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Feeling like a twisted mash-up between John Waters’s SERIAL MOM and Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR, FRANKENHOOKER is a bad taste triumph that revels in sublime camp, gloopy gore, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus an iconic performance by Patty Mullen as the eponymous title character.
